Beautiful little cottage in Portobello, clean and tidy, wonderful, thoughtful host, close to shops, friendly visits by pets, overall: all pros and no cons. Also the bus stop's very close by, always handy due to me not driving. Will return ASAP.

Lovely little cottage in a great peaceful location. Could do with some maintenance front steps are very uneven and tricky for my husband with a knee injury. Gate does not open fully so hard to get through with the luggage. Not sure the heat pump is working very well.
